What is Deal Drop Down?

The Malwarebytes research team has determined that Deal Drop Down is adware. These adware applications display advertisements not originating from the sites you are browsing.

How do I know if my computer is affected by Deal Drop Down?

This is how the main screen of the installer looks:

And you may see these warning:

and this entry in your list of installed programs:

or this icon in your taskbar:

How did Deal Drop Down get on my computer?

Browser hijackers use different methods for distributing themselves. This particular one was offered as browser protection.

How do I remove Deal Drop Down?

Our program Malwarebytes Anti-Malware can detect and remove this potentially unwanted program.
  • Please download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to your desktop.
  • Double-click mbam-setup-version.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
  • At the end, be sure a check-mark is placed next to the following:
    • Enable free trial of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium
    • Launch Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
  • Then click Finish.
  • If an update is found, you will be prompted to download and install the latest version.
  • Once the program has loaded, select Scan now. Or select the Threat Scan from the Scan menu.
  • When the scan is complete , make sure that everything is set to "Quarantine", and click Apply Actions.
  • Reboot your computer if prompted.
Is there anything else I need to do to get rid of Deal Drop Down?
  • The rogue replaces your hosts file, so you may have to restore the old one. You can find third-party hosts file alternatives at hpHosts or at mvps.org or you can simply reset the default hosts file as outlined here by Microsoft.
How would the full version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware help protect me?

We hope our application and this guide have helped you eradicate this adware application.

As you can see below the full version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware would have protected you against the Deal Drop Down adware. It would have warned you before the adware could install itself, giving you a chance to stop it before it became too late.
